Task 1 Brochure

Q1 How news related to Health & Social care reaches to
public domain.
The health & Social care plays an important
role in the better running of life in our society. People are
getting more & more concerned about their health & their
social surroundings. People believe that health is the key
factor among all the other aspects of life as a healthy
person will prove its benefit to the society. Besides this, a
healthy & socially sound person will help in growth of
economy & wellness in the society. There are various
means of spreading the news or any sort of information
regarding health & Social issues in the society to the
public by means of print media, electronic media, social
media etc. also, some basic news or information can be
transferred to the people.
The print media is the cheapest & quite
accessible of all the mass communication methods
available in the market. The print media have a team of
journalists or the reporters who provide the newspaper or
magazine with news related to health & social care.
Besides this, many times print media calls upon the health
& social experts to discuss the issues & there solutions
which is reached to common people by the means of print
media. But it is comparatively slow among all the media
methods.
Electronic media including the means like TV
news channels, radio or electronic commercial displays.
This medium allows the people to assess the news or
information as fast as they can. Many time this media
also provide with live coverage of a health or social event
increasing the information of the people. Many times they
give the predictions prior to the epidemic or disaster like
cyclone, flood or earthquake Although they are fast, their
reliability is quite suspecting.
Social Media is the fastest, interactive &
effective means of transferring information to the people.
People can view, share & interact to perform or response
on any sort of health or social care issues. All the
information or detail can be uploaded & can be trended
using social media platforms like Facebook, twitter etc.
Also it helps the people to interact with other people
including experts which can increase their knowledge
about a health or social issue. But occurrence of many
hoax like death hoax, epidemic hoax has made people
quite repulsive to discuss such issues on social media
platforms.
Q2 different techniques for
disseminating information relating to
health and social care.
Radio and televisions are the two
most frequently used communication's path.
When it comes to deal information with
aggregates. The best plan of action for
disseminating information is through with
advertisement on television and radio. The
number of television audience is way more than
the number of radio and internet users. Therefore,
if a healthcare subject matter in form of
advertisement, fictional dramas, real case
passage or as a public service content is sent
through television, it'll reach to the people
quickly. Later television come in social forums.
Social facility like Facebook and twitter have
progressively an important root of every type of
information, including healthcare information.
Pages on social meeting serve as an important
way of information dissemination. Electronic
dissemination via television, radio and internet
are audience specific. You can well reach your
mark audience through electronic media. Still,
with benefits comes the disadvantage of
electronic media. Empiricism and cheat found on
internet are increasingly disturbing to public
health care area. The internet allows number of
people to approach more information at the same
time. This technique is much impressive because
with the improvement of technology in modern
days, the number of people using internet have
been increased so spreading the knowledge to the
internet will open the panel for many people to
get entree for information. Further, television is
more relevant and faster than newspapers as well
as there is a high chances of getting attention
than internet. There are some various benefits of
using the internet as a medium of delivering
contents or information to public. In short, by
using these techniques are really impressive and
effective because it helps to take the supreme
attention of the society, but these methods
prevent more costly. Organising a campaign will
cost both money and labour (human resources).
Information technology hs providing
Q3: Effect of health & Social care
information on people
The change in the lifestyle gas
brought the people closer to the health &
social care issues. People nowadays are
considering the health as an important
amenity in their life. Thus, the information
about any health or social issue will have
an impact on the people. Moreover, many
times any information about any health
issue awareness or social cause motivates
the people to take preventive or supportive
measures. For example, an article on
preventive measures during common cold
will enhance the preventive knowledge
about precautions to be taken during
common cold. Similarly, a
Facebook post about a lost child will make
people alert about the missing child & they
can also help in finding the child through
conveying the information on the social
media platform.
The content in a health report will have the
medical details as the content, which will
be presented in the legible and professional
fonts, preferably Times new Roman or
Calibri.
It will be showcased and arranged in a
specific report style covering details of
various disease or issues.
The people associated will be the patients,
his family, doctor’s or the concerning
person.

Task 2
Q4 explain ways in which the media may be used to influence the attitudes and behaviour of
people in relation to health and social care issues.

Subject: Impact of media on health and social care
Date: 5/ 07/ 2018
This report covers the attitudes and activeness of people in terms of health care and the issues
of social care. This focuses on the feature that media serve a main duty in Health and social
care.
The people behaviours and attitude are various pose. This presentation describes the
role of media in term of social and health care related info media control their attitude and
behaviour in a way. Only condition to be keeping the Media form, display information, and
way of display, details on the appearance, Understand the Optical feature and dins. Because the
behaviour and attitude of people can be replace by using visualisation and dins. It's instantly hit
the people awareness. Eventually upgrade their minds in the relation with subject by showing
media can change the behaviour and attitude (Evertson and Weinstein, 2013).
To present a information media is using various paths. Telecasting, net, radio
communication, paper, social advertising, poster, banners, headlines etc. These methods are
based on the use that few have a visualization and Audio few process have only audio or
visualization method. Media will decide the using technique. The data use depends on
following technique as below.
Ad Use of sounds and Visual, News program,Artwork, Television, Radio set, just Audio news
or ad, sound news, Paper Articles, Paper Advertising Heading can use, style of fonts and

Artwork, pictures, Banner, cut-outs and poster, Optical pictures with data Artwork, word Uses
Group member Arranged the caiman's, socially do advise Telecasting, Sound, using poster,
Net, Googles Add, mails, using gathering sites.
The positive referencing by media will help in development of a good perception in the
mindset of people while the negative broadcasting will cause and adverse impact in developing
bad stereotyping about company.
There are different media and techniques that can be increased the value or behaviour of
social health care services. That are given below :
 Advertisement: Advertisement is the best media source that helps to activate the
human behaviour and make them happy and satisfied. Advertisement connects people
to visual graphics or with the new technology. That influence better growth in
behaviour. Besides, media also provides huge information and current inundation.
 Radio: Radio connects people through voice tine. That gives any kind of information or
new current inundation to people. Might be from this social and health care services get
to normal pace.
 Newspaper: Newspaper is the another source of media which presents national,
international or local news. That contains all kinds of content and resources.
 Internet: Internet is the another source of model to get collects all resources and
information. This makes the better resources and growth.
 Video Words images and sounds: this helps to showcase the different images and
concepts to represent the information of social health issues.
This media platforms will lay and impact on developing of the perception and mindset of the
people for a disease or any other contemporary issue. For instance, a good advertisement on
sanitation or prevention of a disease will help the organisation and individuals to develop an
awareness. But a misguided use of these mediums will create a turbulence tat can create
political or social bias in the society. Also, some video, images or audio can create a
contemporary issue and may lead to rise in condition of moral panic.
Media plays a very deep and crucial role in shaping up the opinion and insight that will cover

the stereotyping, moral panics and political bias for an issue or incident. The people must use
their desecration and conscience while accessing an information from a source like newspaper,
magazines etc. the people must look after the validity and verification of the data source before
generating an opinion for an issue or incident. This will help in proper management of peoples
perception and idea and thus will reduce the chances of occurrence of a conflict.
Q5 evaluate how the public can assess the reliability and validity of media information about
health and social care.
MEMO
To: Health and social care employee’s
From: health and social care officer
Subject: Impact of media on health and social care
Date: 5/ 07/ 2018
Social and health care are methods made-up close to the social group, mixing
performance for health funding and work condition. Media plays a powerful supportive duty by
transportation of wellness issues from singles to policies maker and enforcement whose
judgements causing health policy budgets and systems. In particular way the fresh media have
together a broad range. Mostly, they have a full steady of creativity, and the content they
transfer is mostly adopt by the people. The media have a powerful determination on citizenry
attitude and knowledge. The social care and health sectors groups have data to tell the social
groups, message which is crucial and applicable to the wellness of the population. The
government spoke persons who act with the media is a disadvantage. If the spokes spread great
news or information it is disbelieved by the people so the spokes' person should be a trained
person. Example: public legal proceedings towards the tobacco industries. Present, as a effect of
long time of telling and making known the public about it, the tobacco plant hazards, its
ingestion global wide is decreasing. Media get together with government which have carried to
the political drive with efficaciously and faithful contents. The concept that each sides want
from each one. The government department of health wants the media to extend the
informations, which is very frequent and essential in the public eye.
The reliability of the various media mediums is quite questionable as the misuse of this
IT and media broadcasting medium's can cause the political, social and religious disturbances,

causing their agendas to fail and rise in pressure groups causing an instability.
It is important for the public to evaluate the reliability and validity of media information
before accepting it as a fact. This process has been done where information coming from the
way where they get to issue information and how the information has been presented. There are
different sources from information for instance from political and religious agendas. There is a
campaign in UK where they planning to government planning to integrate the health and social
care. So that, older people can easily get the better services.
The reliability and validity of these questions are quite questionable as they can be influenced
by the political and religious agendas of certain fanatic or pressure groups. Other that this the
sources can create an uncertainty due to unclear identity of their ownership or possession,
creating the disturbance in the society.
The reliability factors for a data source and information are required to be managed properly in
order to avoid any sort of discrimination and difference on basis of misinterpretation. The
proper ownership and assessment of the political and religious agendas are required to be
managed in order to devoid the impact of duiffernt pressure groups and factors, that can alter
the validity or reliability of an information or data sources.

Task 3 Poster – Child Abuse
TASK 4
P4.1 Local attitudes reflects at a national level.
There are many local issues which affects the international issues, When people fails to solve
their epidemic reflects. Thus, these contemporary issues has arisen such as damage, health and
physical issues or international aspects. To eradicate all those issues people of country should
need to contribute their part towards development. For example dengue is the major health
disease which is highly risky for the people but still people do not react and not understand their

responsibilities. Such as child abuse this is the another major impact on the international global
level. Every one should understand their duty towards the development of nation.
Child abuse is the major problem in the world. It is a social health issue which affects negatively
on the children. This maltreatment affects the mental situation of the children. Small children or
poor which comes under these disasters. Child abuse may happened by parents or any other
health care provider(James, and Prout, eds., 2015. ). Health issue is the major concern nowadays
in terms of safety. It causes injury, kidnapping, emotional torture, death or any other health issue.
In this harmful situation society needs to take the strict action against those criminals. This
situation arises due emotional imbalance of parents, lack of children safety, unaware about the
background of children etc. this factor affect the national factors and create big question mark on
the country. This culprit many be involves in relation or may be a neighbour. It was researched
that three fourth culprits are from health services providers and on tenth were close relatives this
proved at nationally. This issue is increasing day by day. To diminish those effects local
authorities should take care about these issues and take some strict actions to protect the interest
of children. Some national institutes will take care about these issues and give protection by
giving strict laws and punishments. Child abuse happened in many ways(Best, 2017.). To
overcome from this major issue is increase the awarenesses and give knowledge to the children
about the negative effects. Today every schools and communities helps to guide the children so
that they protect themselves against those wrong persons. This action decreases the negative
impacts of child abuse. Also, family members give information and guide them to don't go alone
anywhere without the taking concern of parents.
Evidences: There are many local issues which affects the international issues, When people fails
to solve their epidemic reflects. Thus, these contemporary issues has arisen such as damage,
health and physical issues or international aspects. To eradicate all those issues people of country
should need to contribute their part towards development. For example dengue is the major
health disease which is highly risky for the people but still people do not react and not
understand their responsibilities. Such as child abuse this is the another major impact on the
international global level. Every one should understand their duty towards the development of
nation.
Validity: It causes injury, kidnapping, emotional torture, death or any other health issue.
In this harmful situation society needs to take the strict action against those criminals. This

situation arises due emotional imbalance of parents, lack of children safety, unaware about the
background of children etc. this factor affect the national factors and create big question mark on
the country. This culprit many be involves in relation or may be a neighbour. It was researched
that three fourth culprits are from health services providers and on tenth were close relatives this
proved at nationally. This issue is increasing day by day. To diminish those effects local
authorities should take care about these issues and take some strict actions to protect the interest
of children. Some national institutes will take care about these issues and give protection by
giving strict laws and punishments. Child abuse happened in many ways(Best, 2017.). To
overcome from this major issue is increase the awarenesses and give knowledge to the children
about the negative effects. Today every schools and communities helps to guide the children so
that they protect themselves against those wrong persons. This action decreases the negative
impacts of child abuse. Also, family members give information and guide them to don't go alone
anywhere without the taking concern of parents.
Reliability: On the basis of the interrogation of the data that is been collected, it can be
said that the evidences of the social activities will help in good management of the trade
activities and handling of the operations that are been followed by the organisation. Also, it can
be said that the presence of the local issues and failure of their mitigation has caused the
disturbance in the operations that will help in good rise in the activities of the well being of an
individual in a country. As UK is made up of various countries, the individual national culture
will impact a lot on operations. Some times, national health care organisations makes human
aware about the protection of health issues. That impact on local attributes to taking its growth
accordingly.
Key Arguments: Generally it has been seen that media covered the information on the
basis of public reviews. According to public each every individual has their own perception to
take the news in positive as well as negative manner. Subsequent media coverage reports has
been created negative effects on social health issues. Due to changes in social environment
people get definitely affected from that issues. Through which they affect local attitudes at
national level. For example: People read the new in which they seen that some foods are not
really good for health either these foods spread cancer. This reports and articles affect human
psychology.

Conclusion: On the basis of above section, it has been proved that. All the information
collected from different countries. Every individual makes their own perception on the news that
relates local attributes to international attributes.
P4.2 Evaluate the public attitudes and behaviour in a particular topic.
Every sector has their own education level and some persons who spread knowledge that child
abuse is the major concern of the country which is very important to remove that issue. Their
should adopt some theories and positive attitude by the people or committee members to remove
this social cause. Public needs to change their attitude and behaviour for the development of
country. Public and members of the country should spread positive attitudes and take strict action
against those who make wrong judgement with the child.
Child abuse is the big topic nowadays. The perception of public and nationally representative
sample that overall 1250 children were abused in 1987 and 1992. According to the public point
of most of the harmful thing is yelling, or torturing children for the children. 53% people hitting
to their child(Cherry, and Jacob, 2016.). Public support the high prevention of child abuse as
compare to others. Most health care organisation abuse the child in terms of using harmful tools.
On the other side people treat badly to poor children who doesn't have power to take action
against those culprits. This topic is worldwide and harmful for the future growth. This issue must
be finish as soon as possible to maintain the condition of children's. Much public comity would
have taken step to stop those issues and take strict action against those culprits. Child Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Act CAPTA (1974) this act protect the child labour and give strict
action against the culprits. This public behaviour always protect the child malnutrition to protect
their life. To overcome from this issues public or parents should adopt some corrective actions.
Society and public are the persons who take care of child abuse. In this topic only public will
remove this child abuse and give good information thought and guidance to the children to
protect themselves and also they guide to parent as well. It is very important for children future it
gives very negative impact on children who faces those problems.
Impact of Privatisation
Impact of privatisation has give the negative impact on the social health care. Health care
sector is all about the such as health, physical heath, social health, emotional health, intellectual
and spiritual health. Public attitude is all about based on the nature of goods and services.
Moreover, it is the overall process of making good task. Along with that it also help to discover

the new effects. The privatization will lay a very deep and crucial impact on the operations of the
individuals as well as the firms. It will lead to the rise in control over the functionalities that are
been followed and thus will cause the individual or enterprise to face the lack of satisfaction. The
reduction of the resources will also cause the rise in conflict and may have severe consequences.
It will impact the suitable rise in operations and thus facilitates the meeting of operations and
actions that will lead to change in threshold criteria, causing the gap between the individuals.
Other than this, any sort of discrimination will also give rise to disputes and thus will impact the
overall growth and development.
Impact of reduction of resources
Impact of reduction of resources might get affect reduce the efficiency level of mental
growth. Social people needs to reduce wastage and unnecessary wastage through which
resources get reduced and narrow. Many of the people fails to get resources because somehow
people enhance the rate of waste the natural resources. This might get affect human health and
growth level of human well being. Due to which social cause has been increasing day by day.
Impact of changing Threshold criteria and discrimination
The factors affecting frequency discrimination in the school age on the basis of children
poorness. As per the research, it has been seen that threshold tended to be higher in terms with
younger children for older children and adults for all conditions. Younger of 20-25 age group
and older 61-79 age were evaluated for their ability to visually discriminate length. Due to
changes in these policies and discrimination process affect the well bringing of the persons.
P4.3 Consequences of contemporary thinking for health and social care provision and services.
This issue is measure factor which affect the health of children. There is a positive relationship
between public and development of social policy. Social media has played a very interesting role
to encourage the health and social care. This creates more awareness and information
worldwide(Dunham, and Alpert, 2015. ). In UK this social media play a very crucial role and
enhance the development level. This social media factor gives more information and big issues
through people effect and give the best solution towards the social development.
For this measure issue there is need to be a proper guidance and action plans by which culprits
feel danger and don't use those negative activities. These consequences are always gives negative
impacts on the economy. This major issue gives more risk to children they give negative image
to children towards the life. This health issues which is not good for the babies. Public

organisation needs to adopt some campaigns and activities which gives knowledge about some
social issues(Evertson, and Weinstein, eds., 2013. ).
Consequences
Consequences of this social issue is they give negative impacts on development of
children(McCombs, 2017.). It removes the social vales and create harmful atmosphere but there
is some social care provisions and services which protect the interest of children and gives
related knowledge before any happened(Steinbock, London, and Arras, eds., 2013.). This social
provision made some rules and laws against negative activities. Nowadays government make
strict action against culprits. But peoples and society should take new issues and give some
solutions to the society and protect the life of children. But social provisions make some relief
factor This issues give freedom and give healthy environment. It helps to leave life without any
tension and give confidence to the children. In the country there are many other health issues but
child abuse is the measure issue which is more concerning part to protect the life of children
against the fraud persons and relatives(Wellington, 2015. ). Contemporary issues impact
negatively on the and its consequences related with health care and services will also very bad
and adverse. It fails children self respect, confidence and education development which is very
important for them. One of the major consequences of contemporary thinking about the health
and services that education related to social care will become low. Till people don't change their
thinking nothing will change.
CONCLUSIONS.
From the report social and health care will be affected on child issues in the nation.,as the child
abuse ism the moat common problems in the health care which can be damage to the society.
